PS3 Bluetooth Remote and GlovePie works.....although

[s8n]

hi members , i bought a PS3 Bluetooth Remote and it works great with GlovePie. Although i would like to use the Volume Up and Down on the remote with mpc-hc , in the GlovePie settings there is no option to use those 2 buttons.


i was wondering if anyone knows a workaround or something im missing


chat soon

That's because those are IR and not Bluetooth.

It sounds like you have the second PS3 remote, which combines an IR universal remote in with the BlueTooth PS3 remote. Only BlueTooth behaviors are map-able (unless you have an IR sensor hooked up to the computer)

You're going to have to use different buttons or get an IR sensor. There are IR to BlueTooth adapters, to note, but it's likely just not worth your time compared to getting a legitimate BT remote.

GlovePie recognizes these inputs for the remote:

Code: Select all

Eject        Num1         Num2         Num3
Audio        Num4         Num5         Num6
Angle        Num7         Num8         Num9
Subtitle     Clear        Num0         Time
Blue         Red          Green        Yellow
Display      TopMenu      Popup        Return
Triangle     Circle       Up           Down
Left         Right        Enter        Square
Cross        L1           PS           R1
L2           R2           L3           Select
Start        R3           Rewind       Play
FastForward  Prev         Stop         Next
StepRev      Pause        StepFwd

For reference, here's the model 1 PS3 remote:

Personally, I'd recommend using the L or R buttons. You can have Volume Up, Down, and Mute.
